FOV is only 140x52 degree, not 170 degree – but otherwise works very well.

3 out of 5 stars

FOV is only 140×52 degree, not 170 degree – but otherwise works very well.
This is a great plug-and-play camera. It was immediately recognized by the Windows 11 camera app, and worked perfectly. It has decent resolution (1280×720) and color balance, with native 24bit depth color. The auto gain function works well in different lighting, and the fixed focus lens is in focus at pretty much every distance (even a just few cm from the lens).Unfortunately, the FOV is not 170 degrees by any stretch of the imagination. I measured it using two methods, and both times measured only 140 degree horizontal, and about 52 degrees vertical. I took a quick photo using this camera of an on-screen ruler (not to scale!) just to illustrate the fisheye distortion of the lens, so you know about what it looks like.This was advertised as a 170 degree FOV, 1080x720P camera. It is 720P (which is actually 1280×720, and also what this camera really is), but it’s 30 degrees shy of 170 degrees. This is going to lose it 2 full stars, because it’s a very significant spec to get wrong, and will upset a lot of buyers who actually want a 170 degree horizontal FOV. It’s still wide angle, but not as wide as you think you’re getting. Everything else about the camera is great, so it gets to keep 3 stars. It works well, shipped in anti-static packaging, and came with good (but generic) instructions and a troubleshooting guide. I didn’t test on Linux, but it’s supposed to be plug-and-play there too.Final rating: 3 stars. If this were advertised as a 140 degree FOV, I’d give it 5 stars, but it lost 2 stars for the FOV falling 30 degrees short of the advertised 170 degree spec.

    It works great. Add your own casing/mounting

    It works great. Add your own casing/mounting, and it works with any software that supports standard system webcams on any modern OS (which support UVC usb webcams). I've used it with OS X, Ubuntu Linux, and a Chromebook. It is indeed quite wide angle; colors are maybe a bit yellow ish.

    No hassle, great for the money

    Plug & play out of the box on my Mac, no drivers or installs or anything. Picture quality is pretty impressive for the money, and the fisheye is actually pretty subtle. Going to be trying out as a webcam for a while, don’t mind that the edges of the screen will be in the warp zone. Solid build, even comes with a nice little lens cap.

    Great choice for a robot car project

    I needed a lower-light camera for our robot car project, one that also gave me a little more visibility than the random webcam I had lying around. This did the trick; I plugged it directly into the car's brain (a Raspberry Pi 3) and tweaked the motion daemon until we had a smooth solution for driving. It does pretty good in dark areas, and the framerate stays high enough to drive, including a pretty low-latency (though it took plenty of experimentation).

    Good image quality, however I would like to see longer cables with cameras (thow not a problem will use extenders).

    I will use cameras for building Pick & Place machine vision.
